Zhu Zhanyan had never known that forest fires could burn so quickly.

In his opinion, forest fires have always been a natural disaster, an existence that is difficult for humans to intervene in, but now he knows.

Humans are indeed bad at intervening, but they can trigger it.

In the past, when watching the Amazon forest fires and Australian wildfires reported by the media, Zhu Zhanyan's reaction was not much, because it was none of his business, he did not care about it, and he did not care.

But now he knows.

A forest fire, if there are enough fires and long enough fire lines, can burn down 100,000 houses a day.

The size of each house is calculated as 100 square meters.

"Report!"

Standing in the middle of Thang Long City, Zhu Zhan Yan watched the soldiers searching for any hidden enemies, and at the same time preparing to accept the city, when a slightly hurried voice sounded.

"Say!"

"Your Highness! Thirty miles away, the trail of the phenomenon soldiers! ”

"Got it." Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath and was in good spirits.

"Keep scouting, keep reporting! Don't lose it! ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the southwest, Zhu Zhanyan slowly exhaled, adjusted his mood, and prepared to set off again!

"His Royal Highness." Mu Sheng walked over.

The herald's voice was very loud, and he didn't dare to say the entire Thang Long City, but the people within a radius of ten meters could hear it clearly, and Mu Sheng naturally heard it too.

"Shall we catch up? Isn't that a bit risky? ”

In the fifth year of Yongle, after losing the war against Chen Jikuo's father and son, Mu Sheng re-examined Chen Jikuo's enemy, was careful in everything, and no longer had the slightest contempt.

It's not that he was scared when he lost a battle, and he didn't dare to face Chen Jikuo, but he knew Chen Jikuo's cunning very well.

Chen Jikuo has been fighting with Daming for so many years, and has failed several times and been arrested, but in the end he can still jump until now.

If nothing else, this man has a scheming.

"Chase, why not?" Zhu Zhanyan gave the order very firmly.

"Let's go at once, catch up!"

"Your Highness!" Mu Sheng hurriedly spoke, trying to dissuade Zhu Zhanyan from this idea.

"Your Highness, now that the fire is still burning, we are in an advantage, if we rush to pursue, it is likely that there will be an encounter with Chen Jikuo, and then our advantage will not exist."

"In my humble opinion, can we wait? I think in less than three days, Chen Jikuo will be cornered by the fire, and he will either be forced to engage us or raise his hands and surrender. ”

"So, you see......"

"Who said we're going to fight them head-on?" Zhu Zhanyan stopped what he was doing and looked at Mu Sheng with a smile.

"Third Uncle Mu, have you forgotten something?"

"You know we're at an advantage right now, so why don't we expand it?"

"You know, we used to be alone, but now, we have help."

"This mountain fire was of no special use before, just to clear the terrain and drive Chen Jikuo away."

"But now, we know Chen Jikuo's location, if we go around in front of him, then this fire chasing behind Chen Jikuo will become our comrade-in-arms?"

……

Mu Sheng was stunned.

He fell into a misconception.

Now, he had to admit that after Zhu Zhan's appearance, he rarely thought about the issue of combat and was accustomed to obeying Zhu Zhan's orders.

He couldn't solve the previous problems, Zhu Zhanyan came forward to solve them, and then Zhu Zhanyan left, and he didn't dare to do the rest of the problems casually, so he slowly developed this habit.

Now, listening to Zhu Zhanyan say this, he still doesn't understand.

You know, he Mu Sheng has a boat in his hands!

Although it can't be compared with the ocean-going treasure fleet of the City Shipping Division, it is definitely stronger than Chen Jikuan.

It can even be said that it is at the forefront of the current world.

"Pass the order! Everyone starts to prepare, get ready in one day, Second Uncle Mu, you have to be ready, I want to see the soldiers set off at this time tomorrow. ”

"Yes!" Mu Sheng cheered up.

……

What is national prestige?

Da Ming may be the standard answer to this question, at least in this day and age.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Mu Sheng couldn't help but sigh at the gap between people.

From beginning to end, Zhu Zhanyan's plan seems to be described in one word, that is, bold.

But when he looked back, he found that Zhu Zhanyan's plan was actually not clever, but bold.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Zhanyan is not good, just being bold is enough to show that Zhu Zhanyan is excellent.

After all, he Mu Sheng didn't have the courage to set fire to the mountain, and he didn't even dare after Zhu Zhanyan carried the black cauldron.

What are Zhu Zhanyan's plans? set fire to the mountain, forcing Chen Jikuo to retreat and retreat, and then kept burning, kept pressing, until today.

Is the plan smart? It's not clever, but there is no second person in this world who can do it, because everyone will be stuck in the first step.

Without the first step, how could they sail on the Lancang River (the Mee River, later known as the Lancang River) as they are now?

Thinking of this, Mu Sheng turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanyan, who was sitting as steady as Mount Tai in the cabin, and then looked at the people of the Nanzhang Dynasty who were full of panic on the shore, and his heart was mixed.

Zhu Zhan's fire not only burned Chen Jikuo everywhere, but also burned away the confidence of Nanzhang and other countries, so that they did not react at all to Zhu Zhan's fleet's behavior of sailing into the Lancang River without saying a word.

Just relying on a name to make the two countries avoid it, is there a figure of this rank in history?

Mu Sheng couldn't think of it.

"What are you looking at?" Feeling Mu Sheng's gaze, Zhu Zhanyan walked out of the cabin.

"Nothing." Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief gently.

"It's just that looking at the people on both sides of the strait, there is a feeling of unreality."

"Not to mention Nanzhang's side before, even when facing Jiaozhi, I have never had this kind of treatment, and now, they are all scrambling to make way for us."

"In comparison, I just feel like I've lived to a dog all these years."

Speaking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Mu Sheng's face.

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly.

"This person is a cheap person, if you treat each other politely, he will think that you are a bully, and provoke you several times."

"But if you get angry and slap them directly when they are cheap, you will find that they will bring the other side of the face over and let you give them another slap with a flattering smile on their faces."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan beckoned.

Zhu Ling immediately stepped forward and handed a bow to Zhu Zhanyan's hand.

In Mu Sheng's surprised eyes, Zhu Zhan stretched out his bow and arrows, while Zhu Ling quickly took out the fire fold, adding a touch of color to the arrows.

However, Zhu Zhanyan's arrow did not shoot out, but put it away.

Mu Sheng was a little inexplicable, but when he followed Zhu Zhanyan's gaze, he suddenly realized.

Originally, there were some people on the shore who were watching, and there were many soldiers from Nanzhang and other countries, but after Zhu Zhan opened his bow and arrows, they suddenly panicked.

Nothing was done, just a gesture that scared almost everyone on the shore away.

And that includes soldiers.
